Summary

Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his "special" gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.

What to Expect

The Frighteners is such a unique movie that talking about all its quirks almost crowds out the story. Its very existence is a defiance of all movie-making logic. The major flaw with The Frighteners is its bipolar pacing. The first half is a light-hearted chaser to Ghostbusters, while the second half is true horror.
